Here is my suggestion.
Why not have the best of everything?
1) Keep hacking the best maps so people can play them NOW.
2) Develop mm hacks to help with things.
3) Work with the bot authors to develop really workable solutions to the door and button and lifts problems.

#1 is easy and we can have maps right now today ready to go.
I can teach anyone how to do this. All you need is ripent and pm tools.
And I can do any map right away just ask me. I will have them in a day.

But we really do need to have them renamed.

Lets vote on the naming.
I like _bc. it is short and makes sense. We will include a read me that displays IN THE INSTALLER so people know what has changed in the map before they install it.

So _bc is the convention?

#2) should have a mm utility that changes all buttons to walk up type buttons, in the next few days. This alone would open up many maps for good bot play in just a few days.

#3) Let start taking a serious look at enhancing the bots to handle doors, switches and lifts. We can even do this in stages testing as we go.

For a start I would suggest a very simple thing that could make a big difference right now. Add a USE flag to the waypoints. When the bot reaches this waypoint it hits the use key. Simple, easy, backwards compatible, and this would fix the problem with all doors that need to be "used." (at least for the doors that always open on use and not the toggle open/closed type of doors.)
